Summary:IBM said Thursday it will give universities free access to new technologies like games and applications that are being developed in its labs, as the computing giant looks to get younger users hooked on its products and to build expertise for its software platforms.

Universities will get access to more than 25 technologies, which include games and simulations, middleware tools that enable grid computing, and open standard technologies such as Java and Eclipse. All of the technologies come from IBM alphaWorks, a web-based lab that works on emerging technologies.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University's Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences will be the first universities to participate in the program.

IBM Vice President for developer relations Gina Poole said that the goal of the program is to train, educate, and accelerate the adoption of open standards-based technologies.
